Next Generation Pepper Spray for Home Defense
Not every self-defense tool is designed to be carried in your pocket. The POM Home Defense Unit is built for the places you already think about protecting: your bedroom, garage, closet, office, or entryway.
Its larger 7.2 fl. oz. canister provides more capacity than a compact everyday-carry spray, while the pistol-grip handle gives you a secure, familiar hold under pressure. The safety-pin mechanism is designed to help prevent accidental activation while still allowing the unit to be armed quickly when needed.
With a 20+ foot stream range, the POM Home Defense Pepper Spray helps create distance between you and a potential threat. That added space can give you more time to move, call for help, or get to safety.
Powerful Formula. Practical Control.
The POM Home Defense Unit uses POM’s maximum-strength formula with 1.40% major capsaicinoids, 10% OC, and 2.2 million SHU. It is HPLC tested for consistent heat performance, giving you a reliable defensive spray designed for serious home-readiness.
The stream spray pattern is built for accuracy and reduced blowback compared to wider spray patterns, making it a strong fit for home-defense planning where control matters.
